| ~ Two-Face |
| “ | Who do you think I am-- the Riddler? This is no game I play! This is obsession! I do what I do because of what fate has made me-- not because I enjoy "matching wits" with the Batman! Nor do I particularly care to make his life hell-- as the Joker does! Fate has cursed me with duality-- and I decided long ago that it is my ugly, evil side which dominates! Similarly, Batman's fate-given destiny is to oppose evil and ugliness. I act and he reacts! Let him come! I never run!! | „ |
| ~ Two-Face |
Two-Face is a villain from the Batman comic book series. In most depictions, he is formerly known as Harvey Dent, Gotham City's former District Attorney, who turns to crime after half his his face is disfigured. He decides whether or not to commit a crime by flipping his lucky coin, one side of which is scarred: if "good heads" comes up on a flip, he abides by the law; and if "bad heads" comes up, he commits a crime. Since the 1990s, DC's writers have depicted him as suffering from bipolar and multiple personality disorder, with his "evil" personality in a constant battle with his former, "good" self.
Biography
Harvey Dent was raised in a dysfunctional household, frequently being beaten by his alcoholic father, causing him to develop bipolar disorder and paranoia. However, his hard work ethic led him to becoming appointed as Gotham City's District Attorney at the age of 26; the youngest on record.
While prosecuting criminal boss Sal Maroni, Maroni threw acid in Dent's face before Batman could intervene, horrendously disfiguring the left side of his face. This drove Dent insane with anger, and he adopted the criminal persona Two-Face.
He now makes all of his decisions with his double-headed coin with one side defaced and is a arch-enemy of Batman (along with the Joker and Ra's al Ghul), as well as every one of the Robins.
Two-Face's origin and history was altered for the New 52. In this continuity, Harvey Dent's father a corrupt businessman that constantly abused Harvey until he was eventually arrested for his crimes. During this period, Harvey Dent was sent to a rehabilitation center where he met young billionaire Bruce Wayne, who was sent there for help in coping with his parents deaths. The pair form a pact, in which each of them would kill the other's tormentor when they got older (Harvey's father and Joe Chill respectively). However, after Harvey's father was released from prison, He showed remorse for his past actions and wanted to become a better person and father to his son. Because of his father's redemption, Harvey backed out of the pact he made with Bruce, wanting to give his dad a second chance. Although Bruce thought this was a incredibly naive move at the time, these events would have a major influence on him becoming Batman later in life.
Harvey and Bruce would continue to be friends as they grew older, with Bruce introducing Harvey to his future wife Gilda Gold and suggesting he becomes a district attorney. Harvey Dent was able to lock up many criminals with the help of Batman and Commissioner Gordon, but his wife was eventually murdered by Erin McKillen, out of revenge for being jailed be him and for the death of her sister. Harvey was also kidnapped and tortured by Erin through having chemical acid poured on one side of his face. While Dent survive the torture, his sanity did not, and became a psychotic villain with a split personality and a obsession with duality called Two-Face. Harvey would eventually attempt to kill Erin McKillen but would face opposition from his old ally Batman, which Two-Face knew was Bruce Wayne due to their past friendship.

His former good-luck charm, a “two-headed” trick silver dollar, was damaged on one side in the attack, and Dent has seized on it as a reflection of his half-scarred visage. He flips it to decide the fates of his victims. Despite Batman’s efforts to reform his former ally, Dent is consumed by his fixation on chance, and his crimes are designed to prove out his diametric philosophy.

When Batman found out that Catwoman was captured by Two-Face he goes to the courthouse to rescue her. After Batman rescued Catwoman, Two-Face disappeared, and wasn't seen or heard from until the end of the Catwoman story arc.
While playing as Catwoman, Two-Face's thugs were trying to figure out where Catwoman lives so they can get their revenge. When Two-Face eventually found out where she lived, he stole Catwoman's jewels, sold half of them to his thugs, and placed a bomb in her home. When Catwoman was attacked by Two-Face's thugs, she interrogated one of them to figure out where Two-Face was. Two-Face moved his lair to the Museum since the courthouse was destroyed by Hugo Strange. After Catwoman found Two-Face she defeated him and knocked him out cold.

| ~ Harvey Dent to James Gordon. |
A younger version of Harvey Dent appears in the TV Series Gotham and is played by Nicholas D'Agosto. He debuts in the episode "Harvey Dent" in its first season, and appears in further two episodes "Lovecraft" and "Everyone Has a Cobblepot". He returns as a regular character in season 2 during its seventh episode "Mommy's Little Monster". Just like in the Batman series, he has a split personality when he loses temper and usually gets nicknamed Two-Face.
Harvey Dent is an Assistant District Attorney in Gotham City, who James Gordon turns to in hope of solving the Wayne Murders. Although not a villain in this series (as of yet) Dent does use the Wayne Murders to go after corrupt businessman and billionaire Dick Lovecraft and seems convinced he is responsible for the murder of Thomas and Martha Wayne (in which it turns out later not to be the case).
He and Bruce would be friends first, before they become enemies. Dent also seems to have a temper problem because when Lovecraft mocks him, Dent loses his cool and threatens him with violence, however returns to his normal self, somewhat unaware of what he just did. When Lovecraft is killed by an assassin Copperhead, Mayor Aubrey James covers it up putting it down to a suicide over the stress and James Gordon ends up being demoted to a security guard at Arkham Asylum. However Gordon is later given his job back at the Gotham City Police Department.
In the second season Dent works on getting an arrest warrant for Oswald Cobblepot after his attempt to kill the new upcoming Mayor Theo Galavan (who is actually the main villain of the second season). He is later seen at a party when Theo is sworn in and sings his praises. The party is interrupted when Cobblepot and his men attempt to put a hit out on Theo but fail.
In a nod to his fate as Two-Face, several scenes depict Harvey with half his face cast in shadow.
Holy Musical Batman
Two-Face in Holy Musical Batman.
In Holy Musical Batman, Two-Face was a little different. He wasn't as serious as he was in other media. He wanted to join the Rogue Councils, but he was rejected, and he wasn't invited. He makes puns using the number two, and he did flip his coin like in the other media, though.
